LeRoy Butler named a Pro Football Hall of Fame semifinalist
Four-time All-Pro safety among 25 modern-era nominees for Class of 2019
Wes Hodkiewicz
packers.com digital reporter
Harmann Studios
LeRoy Butler
GREEN BAY – Former Packers safety LeRoy Butler is among the 25 modern-era semifinalists for enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the second consecutive year.
Butler, a second-round pick out of Florida State in 1990, made four All-Pro teams during his 12 seasons with the Packers. He also was the first defensive back in NFL history to eclipse 20 interceptions and 20 sacks, finishing his career with 38 interceptions, 20½ sacks in 181 regular-season games.
Synonymous with the Lambeau Leap, Butler was a versatile centerpiece of defensive coordinator Fritz Shurmur's defense during the Packers' Super Bowl XXXI championship run. Three other individuals with connections to that team – quarterback Brett Favre, defensive end Reggie White and general manager Ron Wolf – already have been enshrined in Canton.
Clay Matthews Jr., the father of the Packers' six-time Pro Bowl linebacker, also was selected as a semifinalist for the third time (2012, 2017, 2019).
The next step in the selection process comes in January when Butler will look to make the cut to 15 finalists for the first time. He's currently the only offensive or defensive player from the 1990s All-Decade Team that has yet to be a finalist for enshrinement.
The 25 semifinalists include eight defensive backs, four linebackers, one defensive lineman, one running back, three receivers, one tight end, four offensive linemen and three coaches.
Former Packers coach Mike Holmgren, receiver Sterling Sharpe, and safety Nick Collins also were among the preliminary 103 modern-era nominees for the Class of 2019, but didn't make the cut to 25.
Former Packers DB Charles Woodson named Pro Football Hall of Fame finalist
Eight-time All-Pro played seven seasons in Green Bay

Provides top buck health, allowing each animal to reach its full genetic potential for antler growth, while lowering mortality rates during the rut.
Delivers top doe health, resulting in increased milk production, milk quality and overall fertility.
Builds strong, healthy fawns for lower mortality.
Proprietary Trace Minerals – Optimal antler growth and overall deer health require a proper blend of minerals. That's why Purina has done extensive studies to determine exact mineral requirements for growing antlers at various stages of development. AntlerMax™ goes beyond protein technology to also include exact proprietary types and ratios of trace minerals necessary for building optimal antler density and strength. Plus, Purina Mills Deer Chow™ diets are formulated regionally to adjust for mineral variations in soil and vegetation.
Patented Proteins – In deer, most proteins break down in the rumen (pre -stomach), decreasing their ability to support antler growth. But patented AntlerMax™ Technology in new Deer Chow™ naturally protects these high -quality proteins from rumen breakdown. Once protected, these proteins are digested by the deer in the stomach and small intestines instead of the rumen. The result – HUGE antlers much FASTER.
Most deer prefer protein and energy-rich foods such as browse and leafy plants, over more fibrous grasses. Mother Nature typically provides nutrients through this natural forage to SUSTAIN a deer population. But rather than merely sustaining deer, most people are interested in growing them to their maximum genetic potential. Supplemental feeding can be the difference between an average deer and the world's biggest deer. Plus supplemental feeding also helps deer live better, healthier lives.
They have unique nutritional requirements and feeding habits. As with every species, deer must be fed to meet their needs. Year-round supplemental feeding evens out the nutritional peaks and valleys caused by seasonal and environmental fluctuations.
Supplemental feeding has been shown to benefit all aspects of the deer's life cycle.
Well-fed does produce more milk of higher quality resulting in bigger fawns.
Well-fed fawns grow faster, stay healthier and have higher survival rates.
Buck fawns who receive optimal nutrition early in life will have bigger antlers.
Intermittent feeding will not have the same results as year-round feeding; bucks who enter a feeding program in below average condition (such as right after rut) will spend nutrition on rebuilding body tissue, not antler tissue.
Research has shown that consistent, year-round supplemental feeding has positive results in terms of overall health (decreased mortality, increased parasite and disease resistance), bigger body size, better milking capability, more successful breeding, and more massive antlers.
Purina Mills new AntlerMax™ Technology will allow you to provide nutrition at levels never before possible.
AntlerMax™ is based on an all-natural patented protein extrusion technology that delivers higher quality proteins to growing antler tissue. The result is antler growth of unprecedented size, speed and mass, at earlier ages.
New AntlerMax™ is also formulated with a proprietary blend of trace minerals that provide optimal antler growth, strength and density.
Simply put, new formula Deer Chow allows bucks and does alike to reach their maximum genetic potential. Plus, Purina Mills Deer Chow now comes formulated to compensate for regional differences in forage.
Thanks to WaterShield™, an option in the new Deer Chow formulas, feed loss can be minimized, saving you money. The exclusive WaterShield™ process protects pellets from atmospheric moisture. Unlike other feeds, new Deer Chow with WaterShield™ can withstand heavy rain and snow, with minimal pellet loss or breakdown. So you can rest assured that deer will crave this feed for as long as it stays in the field, in both good weather and bad.
Regionally designed to supplement free-range conditions where animals have access to natural browse and forbsand to match local conditions. High nutrient density delivers more economical feeding and more nutritional value with every pound of feed.
Optimum Performance Formulas: Scientifically tested and field proven nutrition matches your unique forage conditions and ensures higher animal productivity, bigger antlers and record performance for every stage of development.
Palatability Plus: Proprietary nutrient formulation and Optimum Performance Technology deliver a unique and consistent blend of natural ingredients with Record Rack's exclusive flavoring system to ensure maximum palatability and consumption.
By-Pass Amino Acid Balancing: Proprietary nutrient formulation and Optimum Performance Technology balance critical by-pass amino acid levels and provide the most bio-available source of amino acids for optimum growth and performance.
Organic Trace Mineral Complexes: Proprietary mineral complexes with organic nutrients provide the most bio-available sources of trace minerals and in the right ratios to ensure optimum utilization and enhanced metabolic performance.
Forage Max: Proprietary blend of select feed ingredients with added yeast maximize the digestibility and utilization of natural forbs and browse.
Water Guard Pellets: State-of-the-art-pellet design and proprietary nutrient formulation deliver built-in weather resistance to keep water out and valuable nutrients in. That means easier feeding, less waste and more bio-available nutrients for optimum performance.
We are able to supply you and your ranch with any type of deer and wildlife feeds.
Bagged (or bulk-delivered) corn, milo, protein feed and Purina 20% pellets are available for ranch delivery year round.


Collagen is a complex structural protein that maintains strength and flexibility throughout the body. As we age, collagen depletion can lead to common signs of aging in the skin, hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones.
Clinical studies have shown that taking collagen can promote healthy collagen formation throughout the body. Super Collagen uses an advanced hydrolization process to convert large collagen molecules into small peptides that are bioactive in the body.

Christmas Is with the Choir All through the Year!
"Keep Christmas with you all through the year" was the refrain from the very popular Choir and Orchestra Christmas concert with the Muppets® from Sesame Street® several years ago. For the Choir organization, whether it is editing last year's concert for the CD and DVD to be sold in the fall, working on the illustrated book that will share the concert narration with many more than the original live audience, or making plans for the guest artists and the concert program for the coming year, Christmas is part of what goes on all year long.
Christmas Concert 2017 Dates and Tickets
This is the time of the year when many Choir fans start asking about ticket availability and the guest artist announcement. The concert will be held Thursday through Saturday, December 14–16, in the Conference Center. More information about the concert dates, times, and ticket availability can be found under Events & Tickets on the Choir's website.
2017 Guest Artist Announcement
Watch for the exciting announcement of the 2017 Christmas guest artist(s) on KSL Radio's The Doug Wright Show during the middle part of October. Specific details will be published in upcoming Choir Notes newsletters.
2017 Christmas Concert Planning
During this part of the year, work on music, staging, costumes, choreography, and art design begins in earnest. Ideas move from the conceptual stage to implementation, particularly in long lead-time items like staging and costumes. (The Christmas concert's costume designer, Susan Memmott Allred, was awarded a Pioneer of Progress Award for 2017. Her costumes add color and drama to the Choir's Christmas productions each year.) Information about auditions for Christmas concert dancers for this year will be available soon.
Products from the 2016 Concert
The 2016 Christmas concert guest artist Rolando Villazón remarked, "Regardless of what your beliefs are, what your religion is, I think that Christmastime opens the heart. … We need a world that unites us. Every opportunity we have to send that message is important." That message will go out in three new products that will be released in October 2017: a CD and DVD entitled O Come, Little Children, which features Rolando Villazón, and a book, The Little Match Girl, based on the classic Hans Christian Andersen tale retold by David Warner and narrated by Mr. Villazón.
The CD and DVD capture the magic of last year's concert with a focus on the childlike simplicity and youthful enthusiasm that comes at Christmas. The book is illustrated beautifully by artist Greg Newbold and will include a link for readers to view the video of "The Little Match Girl" narration from the concert. (See the Shop pages of the Choir's website for more information.) Watch Choir Notes for information about preorders and product release dates.

TNT Orders "Rhodes to the Top" – A Look Inside the Lives of AEW Power Couple Cody & Brandi Rhodes
As They Add a New Chapter – and Member – to the Rhodes Family Legacy New Unscripted Series Goes Behind-the-Scenes of AEW
LOS ANGELES (March 24, 2021) – Tonight's action-packed episode of "AEW DYNAMITE" delivered another special announcement for soon-to-be parents Cody and Brandi Rhodes. TNT has ordered a new unscripted series, "Rhodes to the Top," from Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Shed Media, that will go inside the lives of Cody and Brandi as they navigate their growing family while building AEW's global wrestling empire.
Each 30-minute episode will take viewers behind-the-scenes as the powerhouse couple manage their ever-busier lives inside and outside the ring, all the while surrounded by a colorful and often hilarious motley crew of wrestlers, family and friends who both support and test them at every turn. Married in 2013, Cody and Brandi have been on an unprecedented path to wrestling greatness, but will now face their newest and possibly biggest challenge yet.
"I've witnessed firsthand the passion and dedication that Cody and Brandi put into every facet of their life and know how much that plays an instrumental role in the success and expansion of AEW," said Sam Linsky, Co-Head of Scripted for TBS, TNT and truTV. "Now the world will get an inside look at how they balance their personal wrestling careers, their training center, and their executive roles at AEW as they venture into one of the most intimidating chapters of life, parenthood."
Corie Henson, EVP, Head of Unscripted for TBS, TNT and truTV added: "AEW fans know Brandi and Cody inside the ring, and 'Rhodes to the Top' will peel back the curtain of their lives off the mat. Running a business together as the stars of 'Dynamite,' juggling friends and family, and introducing a new baby into the Rhodes dynasty is sure to be a wild ride."
"Since the late 1960s, the Rhodes family has been in one spotlight or another," said Cody and Brandi Rhodes. "People think they know us, but this show is the first true look behind the curtain and beyond the ring. They'll see us fail and succeed, but most importantly, they'll see us bet on ourselves as we travel the Rhodes to the top."
"I'm thrilled to expand AEW's relationship with WarnerMedia and TNT, and Rhodes To The Top will represent a new outlet in which our fans can further connect with characters they already
love, and new viewers can discover these personalities for the first time," said Tony Khan, Founder, CEO, GM & Head of Creative of AEW. "With our flagship show Dynamite and now Rhodes To The Top, in addition to our third hour of wrestling programming coming to TNT later this year, 2021 will be a historic year for AEW and our partnership with WarnerMedia."
As the son of the legendary Dusty Rhodes, and brother to Dustin Rhodes, Cody has been at the epicenter of wrestling royalty since birth. In addition to serving as EVP at AEW, Cody is a two time TNT Champion, and has been involved in some of the most spectacular matches in AEW history. This includes Cody's larger-than-life bout against Shaquille O'Neal and his jaw-dropping moonsault from the top of a steel cage against Wardlow. In addition to serving as EVP at AEW, Cody is also a judge on TBS' most extreme reality competition series "Go-Big Show."
AEW's Chief Brand Officer and soon-to-be mom Brandi Rhodes is also a professional wrestler, actor, former competitive figure skater, and host of her own cooking show "A Shot of Brandi." Brandi is also the first Black woman to hold an executive position in a professional wrestling company.

"No, Fiona! It'll make us sick to spin around like that. Don't you have another suggestion?" Jack swayed with dizziness just watching the bubble bouncing.
Fountains bubbled with colored water and small plastic balls floated on the surface. Waterfalls dropped from man-made cliffs into deep pools below. Geysers that erupted and pirate ships shot people from cannons into deep pools.
"Good! I thought you'd try to stop me from having any more fun. Where's Uncle Angus? He should come in here with us. He's missing out," Fiona said.
"Yes, he's missing out. Poor Uncle Angus," Jack said sarcastically.
They went into the pool and enjoyed themselves, as Fiona had promised they would.
A huge wave smashed down on top of them. No sooner had they caught their breath when another came, and then another. Screams filled the pool as people swam to the sides, trying to climb out before they were swamped by another wave.
She nodded and took a deep breath before the next wave pounded down on top of them.
Making it to the side, Jesse pushed her to safety. A wave beat him down to the bottom of the pool. He gasped for breath.
Fiona coughed water up. Unable to see Jesse, she knew she had one alternative. She grew ten times in size. Able to look down on the wave-riddled pool, she saw Jesse. An arm reached for him and lifted him into the air. Once she'd put him down on the grass, she helped the others get out of the pool. Once all was safe, she shrunk down to her normal size. Relieved that everyone had fled the area and not seen her grow, Fiona lay down next to the men.
"We can't call that a coincidece! Two horrible things happening is just too much. I say Phelan's involved with this disaster." Jimmy lay on his belly, exhausted from the struggle.
A worker rushed to the back room and turned off the wave machine. The water went calm.
They found Angus, who was totally unaware of anything aside from his book, and drove home.

What happened to the promise of hosted payloads? It's complicated.
by Debra Werner — August 8, 2019
NASA's GOLD instrument, which is flying as a hosted payload aboard the SES-14 satellite that launched Jan. 25, 2018 on an Ariane 5 rocket and finally reached orbit that June, returned this "first light" ultraviolet image in September. Credit: Courtesy LASP/Gold Science Team
The caption for the SpaceX Falcon Heavy image was corrected Aug. 15 to say the General Atomics Orbital Test Bed launch Jan. 25 did not include a hosted payload. A future Orbital Test Bed will host a NOAA payload.
SAN FRANCISCO — When the U.S. Air Force selected 14 companies in July 2014 to help the government launch military payloads on commercial satellites, observers expected a wave of contracts to follow.
Five years later, the Hosted Payload Solutions (HoPS) contract vehicle has expired "and will not be extended," said Col. Charles Galbreath, deputy director of the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Command (SMC) Advanced Systems and Development Directorate.
"In 2014 SMC awarded the HoPS contract with an assumption several payloads would require a commercial host," Galbreath said in an emailed response to questions. "Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, none of those payloads materialized … Mission area stakeholder's requirements and budgets did not align well with commercial hosting opportunities between 2014 and 2019."
What happened to the promise of military hosted payloads?
Part of it was a change in leadership. SMC Commander Gen. Ellen Pawlikowski, a vigorous proponent of hosted payloads, left in 2014 to become the military deputy in the Pentagon's office of the Air Force assistant secretary for acquisition and later to take the reins of Air Force Materiel Command.
Douglas Loverro, another hosted payload champion, left his post as SMC executive director in 2013 to become the Pentagon's deputy assistant secretary of defense for space policy. He later established a consulting practice.
The government also faces technical, contracting and cybersecurity challenges related to installing payloads on commercial satellites. For example, the military budgeting, contracting and hardware development processes operate at a much slower pace than those of the commercial sector. As a result, government payloads may not be ready for integration and testing on a commercial satellite operator's timeline.

In addition, commercial hosting fees are sometimes too high for a military program budget or a commercial satellite might not meet a military payload's size, weight and power requirements. Another challenge is "alignment of commercial host's orbital location/coverage area with the military payload's mission requirements," Galbreath said.
The downturn in the geostationary communications satellite market further complicates the equation.
"Hosting partnerships are complex arrangements, each with their own unique set of circumstances that directly contribute to their timelines," Galbreath said. "For instance, a payload that required a geostationary host may have experienced increased timelines due to the downturn in the geostationary satellite market. This resulted in fewer commercial business cases aligning with the cost to build large geostationary satellite solutions."
Still, the many hurdles can be cleared. The Air Force Commercially Hosted Infrared Payload, an experimental missile warning sensor, flew on the commercial SES-2 communications satellite in 2011. This approach saved the Air Force nearly $300 million compared with mounting the sensor on its own satellite, according to a 2018 Government Accountability Office report, "DOD's Use of Commercial Satellites to Host Defense Payloads Would Benefit from Centralizing Data."
SMC's Hosted Payload Office also helped orchestrate the launch in 2017 of 64 sensors on 32 Iridium NEXT satellites through a program called Responsive Environmental Assessment Commercially Hosted (REACH). Using those sensors, the Air Force continuously monitors radiation in low Earth orbit. The Air Force estimates the REACH price tag was $230 million less than a dedicated constellation, according to the GAO report.
While REACH was negotiated before the Air Force created the HoPS contract vehicle and the military service never employed HoPS, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration did.
In January, General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems announced plans to fly NOAA's Argos Advanced Data Collection System on the company's Orbital Test Bed satellite (GA-EMS). That contract took advantage of the HoPS contract vehicle.
On July 22, NASA selected Maxar Technologies to fly a NASA pollution sensor, Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring Pollution sensor or TEMPO, on a commercial communications satellite destined for geostationary orbit. NASA relied on the HoPS contract vehicle to solicit proposals for satellite integration, launch services and ground operations. TEMPO is designed to monitor hourly changes in air quality over North America.
Flying the TEMPO payload on a communications satellite "is important because this is a sustainable path to doing more science," said Al Tadros, Maxar vice president for space infrastructure and civil space. "NASA is leading the charge for the government making use of the commercial communications satellite industry in flying and collecting this important data."
Payload hosting also is good business for Maxar, said Tadros, former chair of the Hosted Payload Alliance, a nonprofit trade association.
Iridium Communications has shown the most success in garnering revenue from hosted payloads. Iridium hosts 250 payloads on its Iridium and Iridium Next constellations. L3 Harris Technologies led Iridium's campaign to attract and integrate hosted payloads in its constellation.
The Iridium hosted payload program succeeded because the Iridium constellation offers global coverage, said Bill Gattle, L3 Harris Technologies Space Systems president. In contrast, sensors seeking rides on a single commercial satellite might not end up exactly where they want to be and may not get as much power for their payload as they want. "All these details are the subject of intense and time-consuming negotiations," Gattle said.
Another potential hurdle for hosted payloads is culture clash. Commercial satellite operators may want to dictate the terms of the agreement because they own the bus. However, government officials are accustomed to dictating terms. "It takes a while for them to realize both sides have to give," Gattle said.
As the government explored hosted payload opportunities in recent years, small satellite and launch costs have fallen. "It's much easier to negotiate a slot on an ESPA ring than a hosted payload agreement," Gattle said. "Now, for about the same price as a hosted payload, you own the capability and you have control."

Chicago winter overnight parking ban begins overnight
By John Garcia and Laura Podesta
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago drivers should be sure to set a reminder. The city's annual winter overnight parking ban starts Dec. 1.
That means anyone parked along snow routes between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. from Dec. 1 to April 1. The ban applies even if there is no snow on the ground.
Driver who do not observe the ban will get socked with a $60 ticket. If their vehicle is towed, they would have to pay a $150 towing fee, plus a daily $20 storage fee.
Unfortunately, not one car owner that ABC7 Eyewitness News talked to Wednesday afternoon knew that the ban was going into effect.
"What? There's no snow!" said Kym Hinton.
Workers from the Department of Streets and Sanitation handed out flyers to reminder drivers of the ban.
"We understand that it is an inconvenience to some residents, but we hope they understand it's for the greater good to get people moving during these tough Chicago winters," said Anne Sheahan, Chief of Staff for CDSS.
The steep fines and sudden enforcement, which many residents miss each year, has spurred some city politicians to take action. Alderman Robert Maldonado (26th Ward) introduced an ordinance which would give drivers a warning rather than a ticket for the first offense.

news, local-news, NSW, Minister, education, sarah mitchell, teachers federation, canobolas high school
With the threat of action from staff at Canobolas Rural Technology High School looming, NSW Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell insisted her government is working to address teacher shortages in Orange. NSW Teachers Federation members at Canobolas have voted in favour of considering further action unless a 'crisis in staffing' is addressed at the school, effectively sending the minister an ultimatum. The vote was confirmed by Teachers Federation deputy president Henry Rajendra, who said unfilled positions at the school are putting Canobolas staff under 'incredible pressure' to fill the gaps. "Staff have been attempting to teach under incredible pressure due to 10 classroom teacher positions and a deputy principal position that are unfilled," Mr Rajendra said. "Teachers are forced to teach additional subjects outside of their area of expertise. "It also has resulted in many teachers taking on additional duties and responsibilities to meet this shortfall, impacting on their mental health and well-being. "This is putting unacceptable pressure on the school's staff and affecting student learning and engagement." Mr Rajendra challenged the minister while she was in Orange to announce more than $1 million in funding for local schools, as part of the government's Regional Renewable Program. He suggested that while she was visiting schools in the city, she should "go down the road to Canobolas and sort out this problem". "It is the responsibility of the NSW Government and the Education Department to provide appropriately trained teachers. The current model of leaving staff recruitment to local principals has clearly failed," Mr Rajendra said. "It's time for the minister to bite the bullet, accept this is a major crisis for a large number of schools across the state and come up with a solution as a matter of urgency." Ms Mitchell confirmed none of the funding announced on Thursday will be allocated to addressing teacher shortages, but said the government is 'looking at ways to increase supply'. "Obviously we're looking at what we need to do to fill vacant positions and we've got a range of initiatives in place," she said. "These are ongoing issues we're well aware of and we're working with organisations like the Teachers Federation, like our principals groups to see what we can do. "Our teacher numbers fluctuate every year across schools and that's normal. In fact our vacancy rate across the system is actually down a little bit on last year which is great news. "Our current vacancy rate is less than two per cent ... but, of course, at certain schools at certain times we're going to have vacancies we need to work together to fill. "But we're doing the first review in more than 100 years into rural and remote incentives, which we consulting with the Teachers Federation on, looking at what attracts teachers to those communities and also how we can retain them. "There's a real focus on regional communities and unashamedly so, I live in Gunnedah so I understand the challenges that we have in our country towns but also the amazing opportunities. "It's certainly a commitment of mine to do more work in this space, and there'll be more to do over the next year." Our journalists work hard to provide local, up-to-date news to the community.

An interview with Benjamín Labatut, author of When We Cease to Understand the World (2021), a New York Times Top Ten Book of the Year. Benjamin and I cover an enormous amount of ground in our wide-ranging interview: we touch on Heisenberg's uncertainty principal as a way of his writing; the failure of our societies to make room for overlapping, sometimes contradictory histories; his distaste for genre categories; the inevitable loss involved in translation; Chile's frightening presidential election; and much much more. I know that you will be as enthralled and challenged and delighted by Benjamín's capacious mind.

CHICAGO – The Tigers have placed designated hitter Victor Martinez on the 10-day disabled list with an irregular heartbeat.
It is Martinez's second trip to the DL for such symptoms this season.
Martinez, 38, is hitting .255 with 10 home runs and 47 RBIs this season. His offensive production has severely declined this season, after hitting .289 with 27 home runs and 86 RBIs last season.
More: Tigers' Victor Martinez should contemplate career, says Brad Ausmus
Martinez is in the third year of a four-year deal. He has roughly $21 million remaining on his contract. The second heart issue comes just a few days after cameras captured Martinez having an animated exchange with teammate Justin Verlander in the dugout after a benches-clearing episode with the Yankees.
The Tigers have recalled outfielder JaCoby Jones from Toledo to fill the roster spot. Jones had been sent down Friday night.

If you manage to reach the free spin feature (and it's not so difficult to do so), you can almost certainly guarantee a substantial profit.
In order to reach this phenomenal free spin feature, all you need to do is match up three or more of the scatter symbol onto the reels. This is similar to any other Novoline game with free spins, but with an advantage – there are actually 2 scatter symbols that both take you to the same feature – the Prince and the Princess! Depending on how many of these you get, will influence the number of free spins you are awarded, however, it can get up to 45 in a single go! Not only that, but whenever the free spins begin, either the Prince or the Princess will turn into a King symbol instead and becomes a wild symbol with a 2 x multiplier on all lines that it's included in. Combined with the numerous free games this usually leads to excellent profits. Finally, free spins can even be extended by getting further scatter symbols so it's actually not uncommon to hit 90 or more free spins at a time!
Royal Dynasty is definitely more popular with regular Novoline gamers, perhaps because it really does take a good look at the free spin feature to find the advantages to playing this game over the more popular classics. Although if Novoline does release this as an app that will likely change. We at Top App would certainly love to see a Royal Dynasty app come to market, but we are anticipating Novoline to release their famous games such as Book of Ra and Sizzling Hot to mobiles first.
Until a Royal Dynasty app comes out, why not play the online version of this amazing game at Quasar Gaming? This is a brilliant online casino that has been pushing the boundaries of online slot gaming over the years. This is in part because of their intense slot tournaments that have become some of the most popular in Europe. Although perhaps more importantly is their €200 bonus for Novoline games with an impressively low wagering requirement. This is definitely going to give you a great start with any game that you decide to play, almost guaranteeing several opportunities to turn profits in the various bonus features on offer. If you are more of a cautious player and want to try Royal Dynasty for free before placing bets, you can do so at Quasar Gaming!
If you would like all the latest updates and breaking news on a Royal Dynasty app then it's as easy as liking our facebook page and visiting this website now and again. All the info that we find will be posted here and on facebook as soon as we get it ourselves, so you can make sure that you will be among the first people to know!

The French Sub Deal: A Mercedes With a Fiat Engine at a Rolls-Royce Price
by Mike Lofgren September 28, 2021 January 12, 2022

Once more obeying the old cliché, the Western alliance is in disarray, this time over Australia's breaking its contract to buy French submarines in favor of a U.S.-UK proposal. Weapons contract cancellations between countries happen all the time—Canada canceled its order for U.S. F-35 aircraft—but in this case, France took a step unprecedented in 240 years of American-French relations, withdrawing its ambassador while suspending defense talks with Britain.
This is potentially serious diplomatic fallout. But dispassionate examination of the contract and the emerging strategic environment in East Asia mandates the conclusion that the United States has, whether eagerly or reluctantly, risked a spat with France to achieve the more urgent priority of bailing Australia out of a bad decision.
In 2016, the Australian government obligated itself to pay what turned out to be $66 billion for 12 submarines that were originally French nuclear-powered designs, but retrofitted with diesel engines. As a former congressional defense budget analyst, I am jaded about eye-watering defense costs, but the sub's price tag made me take notice. That's $5.5 billion per copy to build a less-capable warship than its French prototype. By contrast, the proven and efficient American Virginia-class nuclear submarine (without the extra-cost latest hull extension module) costs half that much!
The French Suffren-class derivative would have to be gutted and rebuilt to accept diesel power, increasing project risk and inflating costs with a practically new design. And it would offer no new capabilities compared to the submarine it would replace. It would possess neither air-independent propulsion, lithium ion batteries, a vertical launch system for weapons, nor a large-diameter tube for unmanned systems. The design is like a Mercedes at a Rolls-Royce price with a retrofitted Fiat engine.
Difficulties arose in the first place because the Australian government, for domestic political reasons, at first insisted on nonnuclear propulsion. Buying nuclear Suffren-class vessels would require Australia to develop a nuclear industry to reprocess the spent fuel rods when the warships required refueling. Hence the rather ungainly kluge of the French offer to put diesels in a hull designed for nuclear power.
Problems appeared soon after the bid's acceptance. In August 2016, the French contractor disclosed that it had been hacked, losing 22,000 documents related to submarines it was selling to India. This made Canberra doubt the security of the purchase. Then project costs escalated, and schedule slips meant that the final vessel might not be delivered until after 2050. This forced the Australians to spend more money extending the service lives of their current elderly submarines.
Nevertheless, Australia unwisely pushed ahead, signing in 2019 a further agreement with the French builder that was supposed to have been inked a year and a half earlier. The delay should have given the French some clue that the wheels were coming off, as should public testimony from Australia's National Audit Office in 2020 about problems serious enough that the country's naval advisory board considered walking away from the deal. Then, in April of this year, Australia refused to sign the next phase of the contract.
These developments must be seen in light of evolving geopolitics. In 2016, China rejected the ruling of the International Court of Arbitration that the South China Sea was international waters. It instead moved to de facto annex more than a million square miles of global commons, fortifying the sea's islands and atolls while intimidating the six Southeast Asian nations bordering that body of water. Australia itself is now under Chinese sanctions for questioning China's stonewalling of COVID-19 investigations.
In a more benign environment, a diesel submarine, capable of remaining silently submerged on batteries for long periods near Australia's littorals, might have sufficed. But it would not be able to traverse thousands of miles of ocean—submerged, at high speed, as a nuclear-powered submarine could. Using its diesels would make it instantly detectable.
Given the new security environment—with elements in the Chinese ruling party even threatening nuclear attack on Japan if it meddles in Taiwan while talking about conducting nuclear first strikes in general—Australia is obliged to plan a forward defense. In the circumstances, a nuclear-powered sub is the more capable and cost-effective option. There are few available details of the U.S.-UK offer, but it appears likely that it will involve submarines with sealed reactors that will last the lifetime of the vessels (a technology America is capable of, as in the upcoming Columbia-class subs), obviating the need for an Australian nuclear-reprocessing industry.
France's reaction to what was, after all, the fallout of its own participation in the international arms bazaar—in which the country can be a notably aggressive and sharp-elbowed player—was curious. Realpolitik between Australia, the U.S., and the UK amid an emerging threat is hardly "treason" against France, despite the French ambassador to Australia's over-the-top formulation.
Fortunately, Presidents Biden and Macron have finally moved to dial back the acrimony. To be sure, Australia, the U.S., and the UK could have communicated more clearly. But Australia, albeit belatedly and with much broken diplomatic crockery, made the right decision.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan is under fire from both his own Democratic Party of Japan and the opposition camp over a variety of matters, including finding ways to fix the nation's economic policies and programs.
The new Prime Minister is finding consensus difficult to find despite appealing to the Liberal Democratic Party and his colleagues in the DJP on financial issues, not to mention his decision to let the Diet session end Wednesday as scheduled despite a proposal Monday to extend it by one day. Kan also continues to be pummeled over his decision to stand by a controversial and unpopular agreement made by his predecessor, Yukio Hatoyama, to keep Futenma Marine Corps Air Station in Okinawa.
Kan has asked the LDP to back his proposals for creation of a joint panel to study Japan's financial situation and come up with solutions. Sadakazu Tanigaki, President of the LDP, told Kan he'd agree, so long as the DPJ drop controversial hand-out policies including child allowances. Kan is pressing for fiscal discipline as he tries to curb the government's debt, going so far as to suggest a consumption tax increase.
Kan has apologized for backing off promises to enact a postal reform bill, saying he'll do it during the next extraordinary Diet session. That bill had been supported by Kokumin Shinto, the People's New Party, the DJP's coalition partner. Financial Services Minister Shizuka Kamei resigned from his post only a week into Kan's administration over the DPJ's failure to act on the bill he strongly supported. "A promise has been broken," he said, adding "I am responsible for not being able to persuade Kan" to submit the bill.
As the new administration consolidates its positions, it faces serious situations as it attempts to fix Japan's fiscal policies. "It is desirable to change the taxation structure to produce new revenues sources and use it for economic growth," Kan says, hinting that he's got an increase in the consumption tax rate in the near future. Many of Kan's ministers have spoken out in support of a consumption tax rate increase. Former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama had been staunchly opposed to any increase while he was in office. The LDP has signaled plans to propose raising the consumption tax rate to 10%.


My name is piccolo_majunior the Ruki and this is my little space on the web. Feel free to look around at your leisure, if you have any questions, why not drop a neomail to my owner abby_gone_crazy?
Rukis originally come from the Lost Desert. Some people think its a very dull place, but the Lost Desert can be masses of fun. There are still many places that are unexplored and you will always find something new if you look closely enough. I try to visit the Lost Desert as often as I can although abby_gone_crazy thinks its a bit too hot and dry to live there.
As you can imagine having naturally tough skin can prove to be a big advantage in the Battledome. My owner abby_gone_crazy helps me practice a few days a week. One day I hope to have a full set of Ruki armour, but it is very hard to get hold of.
Anyway I had better be going. I think I hear abby_gone_crazy calling me. If you want to challenge me in the Battledome, or just want to share bizarre cooking stories, why not drop them a Neomail?


Summer has not arrived but the warm temperatures have already arrived across the country. As you start turning on your air conditioning system (or maybe you already have), make sure you call Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts to schedule your tune-up. Why, you ask? Here are some reasons.
Preventative A/C maintenance can help lower the amount of issues you have with your A/C system this summer. Yearly maintenance can also catch little issues before they come big problems, which can save your money and make sure you don't get caught without cool air with the high temperatures hit.
Not only does an annual tune-up help your air conditioner live longer, it also helps keep your warranty valid. Most manufacturers will invalidate a warranty if the system has not been receiving yearly maintenance.
A yearly tune-up not only keeps your warranty valid, saving you money on repair costs, but it also helps you save up to 30% on your heating and cooling bills. Who doesn't love saving money?
So think twice about ditching your seasonal maintenance and call Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts at 226-773-3357 today!
